Weird firefox 2.0 middle click thing


Recommended Posts

I'm not quite sure what's causing this rather annoying bug, whether it's firefox itself or just strange website coding, but it seems that when I middle click on SOME links (to open them in a new tab), it opens up the same link in multiple tabs, depending on how long I hold down the middle mouse button. Usually this means that some links always end up opening two tabs, which can be very annoying.

It doesn't happen on all links, just certain ones. The links on the front page of neowin for the recent forum posts (on the classic layout at least) are a good example of this, but links on google don't suffer from this problem.

Some other sites have the same thing, which leads me to believe it's just some weird way firefox handles certain links.

Anyone else have any similar problem? Or better yet, know how to fix it (possibly with either a firefox option or a greasemonkey script)

its a feature, clicking the scroll wheel does the same thing, unless the middle button you refer to is actually the scroll wheel?

Yeah that's what I meant, I didn't think it made much of a difference.
